Bee & Flower Easel Card

I created this card based on a sketch over at YNS.

I decided to make it into an easel card after I finished the complete front.

I have been on a mission lately to use up some of my scraps so that is what I did for this card I went through my scrap boxes and found some papers that I thought looked good together. I used one of my stitched flag banner dies for the pink Layer that I trimmed down to 5 inches long. I used a stitched scallop oval die for the center mat and I made a shadow layer for it in black with my SNC2.
The Bee is an adorable SVG file from Cheryl over at creativekuts.com I used some yellow shimmer chalk on the middle section of the bee to help accentuate his curved body lines. I used a mini punch for the tulip the Bee is holding, I cut it twice once in green and once in pink and trimmed off the stem and layered the pink tulip on. I punched one more tulip flower in red and trimmed away everything but the leaf area to make the mouth for the bee. From some of the same card stock that I used for the first card base layer I stamped the word hello from a crafters companion Hexagon coordinating stamp set which I then cut out with a stitched ticket die and popped up on foam squares.

On the inside I cut another stitched mat from the same ticket die set in a larger size this time after stamping like the flower & bee great friends are we from desert Craftin divas - Lil Bit Buggie Stamp Set. I then added some bling below the sentiment, One pink flower shaped rhinestone and too mini pink rhinestones to go on either side of the flower. I popped that label up as well on foam tape to act as the holder for the Easel card.
I cut a yellow Mat with a pierced rectangle die so that I may add a written sentiment later on the inside.
